Did you ever think you had a problem?

I get that. I grew up with all family that abused drugs and alcohol. I tried very hard to not be like them. And I am not. Had some times where I thought I had a problem, but I made sure to not be so bad that it controlled my life. Now I rarely drink and I don't experiment with drugs.

Alcohol isn't my thing. I don't like most of it. I have never tried drugs.

I grew up with addict parents who put their addictions above basic needs for their kids like food. I won't ever try drugs or drink alcohol on a regular basis because I don't want to be like them.

When I was younger, I'd have a drink about every 2 weeks when I got paid and would go out, and that's how I know I don't like most alcohol. Now, it's like once a year if that. Dave and Busters has some good drinks, so does Texas Roadhouse, but I purposely limit myself to once a year or less so I don't develop an addiction.

I only dabble with pot edibles and drink occasionally. A six pack can last me 2 weeks easily.

I've gotten wasted, not gonna lie, but those were in safe and controlled environments (and since I don't drink often, a few drinks are enough LOL).

I was told that I am an alcoholic because I drink every day

In reality no I have never had a problem with alcohol or drugs

I think that depends on how much you drink every day. If you drink one drink a day, no, I don't think you have a problem really (unless you think you do), I think it's more of a habit and that it tastes good to have one a day (although I no longer do that anymore).

Yes. When I was 18-19 I got pretty heavily into drugs. It got to the point where I would not even get high anymore. My tolerance had gone thru the roof so it made me feel like utter crap when I wasnt on the drugs and made me feel normal when I was.
Once I realized that my only options were to shoot up something harder like heroin or quit doing drugs I quit doing drugs.

But yeah I get it.

My dad drinks every day and hes not an addict. My ex husband drank all day every day and hes an addict. It really depends on the circumstances.

I binge drink twice a week (6ish drinks). Some might consider that a problem, but it’s the social norm in our circle.
